Former SEC assistant resigns from Deion Sanders' Colorado staff
Former SEC assistant Tim Brewster is stepping away from his post at Colorado. Brewster took to social media on Sunday to announce he has resigned after 1 season of coaching Buffaloes tight ends.
Brewster was moved to an analyst role in November to open up an on-field staff position for new play-caller Pat Shurmur. Sanders argued against the label of demotion, noting Brewster’s pay was not impacted by the move.
The 2023 season was Brewster’s second working with Deion Sanders. Brewster previously worked alongside Coach Prime at Jackson State in 2022. A veteran coach with multiple decades of experience, Brewster has long been known as one of the sport’s top recruiters.
Brewster, 63, got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Purdue in 1986. He coached high school for a couple of seasons before joining Mack Brown’s staff at North Carolina in 1989. Brewster followed Brown to Texas and was a Longhorn assistant from 1998-to-2001.
From 2002-to-2006, Brewster coached in the NFL. He was a tight ends coach for the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos.
Brewster returned to the college ranks in 2007, becoming the head coach at Minnesota. He was fired after a 1-6 start in 2010, bringing his head coaching record to 15-30.
Dan Mullen hired Brewster to his Mississippi State staff in 2012 as wide receivers coach. Brewster soon departed Starkville for Tallahassee, joining Jimbo Fisher’s Florida State staff in 2013, the year the Seminoles won the BCS national championship.
Brewster followed Fisher to Texas A&M, coaching Aggie tight ends in 2018. He then reunited with Brown at UNC for the 2019 season. Mullen hired Brewster again in 2020, this time as Florida’s tight ends coach, where he worked with Kyle Pitts.
The departure of Brewster is expected to be part of multiple changes coming to Sanders’ Colorado staff. The Buffs finished the 2023 season 4-8.
I’ve resigned and just want to say Thank You to Prime! Just a truly amazing man and leader!! #BuffNation all ❤️ and wish staff players much continued success!! God Bless all!!??
